In the Hand of God

2/7/2019

"...The souls of the just are in the hand of God, and no torment shall touch them. They seemed, in the view of the foolish, to be dead; and their passing away was thought an affliction and their going forth from us, utter destruction. But they are in peace."

One Thing

1/8/2019

For each Sister, God's Holy Will is made manifest in a specific way, distinct and different from every other Sister. Yet in the diversity of labors, big and small, there is in reality only One Thing: God. The individual tasks are undertaken for the sole reason that they are God's manifestation of His Will, the way in which He desires that particular Sister to serve Him on that particular day.

Intimacy with the Lord is not a matter of physical kinship; rather, it is achieved by cheerful readiness to do the will of God.
St. Basil the Great

There is a general rule concerning all special graces granted to any human being. Whenever the divine favor chooses someone to receive a special grace, or to accept a lofty vocation, God adorns the person chosen with all the gifts of the Spirit needed to fulfill the task at hand. ~ St. Bernardine of Siena
